Carlos Zambrano Is Dynamite

CARLOS ZAMBRANO IS A RARITY. Yesterday's explosion after failing to tag out Nyjer Morgan at the plate was reminiscent of his manager, Lou Pinella. Zambrano ejected homeplate umpire Mark Carlson , slammed his glove into the brick wall, threw a ball into the outfield and took his signature hacks at the Gatorade cooler. It was over the top, comical. I haven't quite pinpointed what differentiates this guy from other hotheads in baseball. He's such a dynamite player in every kind of way. Dynamite pitcher. Dynamite hitter. Dynamite explosive. So what makes him different than a Milton Bradley? If anything, at least Zambrano owned up to his mistakes afterwards.
